Ms. James has been volunteering by providing Healing from Trauma and Abuse groups to the females inmates housed in the Jefferson County Sheriff s Detention Facility. The four week program was designed to give females tools and skills to help them deal with past trauma and abuse. As of June 2010, approximately 35 women have graduated from the program. The request to attend these voluntary classes has been overwhelming at times. Feedback from inmates attending classes has been very positive and we view the information presented as not only necessary from a health/educational point of view, but of valuable assistance in behavioral management of a large population. I strongly support her and commend her for doing a great job.

Cynthia shows audiences why nothing from the past has to define the future. We attract what we think and believe. You can change your thoughts so that nothing that has ever happened to you can stop your greatness. Revealing Your Extraordinary Essence: Practical Tools for Empowered Living We live in a culture that places a lot of attention and advertising dollars on acquiring something. That could mean jobs, relationships, money, power or status. It is wonderful to feel comfortable but it is better to be joyous and fulfilled. That state comes from being connected to self and being clear about how our thoughts and behaviors affect the environment we inhabit. The extraordinary person is awake, available and authentic. That means they are conscious in how they live, respond and express. The truth is, no one is ordinary, everyone has the potential of expressing in a state of the extraordinary. 'Bust the myth' that it is normal to be ordinary and leap into the extraordinary life that awaits you. Bust the myth that it is normal to be ordinary and leap into your extraordinary life For busy people who want to become more conscious and more successful For people who are overwhelmed, overworked and over-committed release the feeling of being stuck and want to birth 'that something' inside of them that is screaming to be released in exceptional ways. Your Time to Soar People today are actively seeking purpose and most of us are looking for it outside of ourselves. We are looking in relationships, in jobs or careers, we are looking to be validated by something out in the world that says we are enough, we are powerful, we are dynamic. But learning to soar, means understanding that you already have everything that you could possibly need to live a full, enriched, powerful life. The audience will learn the 5 portals through which they must step in order to soar. Inclusivity and Diversity in the Workplace Without diversity and understanding intercultural relations, we just function in ignorance. The tools of acceptance, understanding and education take us to a place of collaboration that is outside the intellect. It is a collaboration of needing one another and understanding we are all essential to success. When we have the focus and intention, and people understand there is a vision of inclusion, then people feel seen, heard, understood and respected. And, when that happens, the creativity and productivity must accelerate.

REVIEWS Revealing Your Extraordinary Essence; Practical Tools for Empowered Living by Cynthia James With much enthusiasm and positive direction, author Cynthia James teaches us how to move from the ordinary to the extraordinary by busting the myth of ordinary existence. Her inspiration and motivation are contagious; you will come away with renewed passion to succeed in whatever your heart may desire. We live in a culture placing a lot of attention on possessions, other than the important connection to self. The extraordinary person is able to rise above the tangible asset to a place about not only being clear on our behavior and our environment, but thoroughly conscious of exactly how we are living and expressing ourselves. Each title explores one area of personal development, such as love, trust, power and self-care, plus many others. The sub-sections explore each area with specificity. Then, we are given exercises that are not complicated. The author gives us suggestions for using the book in ways that are more practical to us, such as taking one chapter at a time, versus trying to consume the entire book in one sitting. Included throughout are several affirmations that can provide a burst of action if your time is limited. People can be remarkable when believing in themselves. By actively placing focus on appreciating ourselves and our strengths, and by using the exercises in this book, every day we will get closer to achieving our highest purpose. Sonia von Matt Stoddard, Awakening Magazine The book and CD, "What Will Set You Free" by Cynthia James is an excellent week-by-week guide to realign, and reconnect with, your mental, physical, emotional, and especially, spiritual bodies to overcome the negative effects caused by, or brought on by, trauma whether it was deliberate (childhood abuse, for example) or not deliberate (surviving extreme weather, tornadoes or tsunamis, for example) experienced by either children or adults, males or females. This workbook teaches people to look inwards for positive reinforcement (such as 'Am I good enough?' or 'Am I worthy?') rather than constantly (and hopelessly) seeking it from others and it teaches us how to improve our techniques of interacting with, and relating to, others. In short, this book is written to help set you free to live the healthy, happy life you deserve as much as anyone else! The Catharsis Foundation, "It's Time To Tell!" What Will Set You Free (with CD) Cynthia James Cynthia James has given readers the chance to make a positive change in their life through her own stories, practical exercises, journaling and a wonderful meditation CD. It has been a while since this reader has read a book so compelling, one that gives advice you can use right that moment and one so caring. Each chapter is filled with stories of her own life of abuse, neglect, finding the wrong relationships and trying to find who she really is. Don t we all do that? Many of us have been harboring secrets for most of our life and can t figure out why we aren t happy. What Will Set You Free gives clear understanding of how we sabotage our goals and ourselves. We continually play the victim and blame others. Ms. James teaches us how to stop doing the negatives and focus on the positives we have with such exercises as: writing your story- word for word, making no changes. She asks, Does your story drain you and make you fatigued? Then follows with after reading your story ask yourself Do you want to let go of the story and move on. As a psychologist I have read many self-help books, but none show this amount of enthusiasm or sincerity in helping you make a change in seven weeks. This is a book that I would recommend my students in my Children and Violence class to read and re-read. Even if we have taught ourselves to believe that we have had a perfect life, Ms. James will help you realize that there is no perfect life-- we all have issues, but you don t have to let them rule. What Will Set You Free is a very incredible read. Carol Hoyer for ReadersViews.com
